BeholdThe Future...High output of energy from slow moving water. THE GLOBAL PROBLEM Accessible and affordable electricity is a major global issue.
1.3 billion people are without electricity, and over 800 million people depend on high cost, polluting fossil fuel generators for their power. However, over 71% of the planet is covered with slowly moving water in rivers, canals, and ocean currents.
A huge, untouched global market exists to provide electricity where it is unavailable, and also to replace the millions of fuel-burning generators currently supplying power at very high cost.
THE SOLUTION WATEROTOR
Waterotor can address this global market creating a revolutionary new era of low cost electrical energy nearly everywhere. Developed over the past 5 years, it is now proven and ready for assigned manufacturers.
Waterotor fills the market void that exists for an energy to electricity system, when fully submerged in water even moving as slow as 2 mph. It is a unique drum like ‘rolling torque induction system’ that can operate nearly everywhere to satisfy electrification on a global scale. Waterotor is an advanced precisely defined, patented, proven and scalar technology.
INNOVATIVE BREAKTHROUGH
Waterotor is a patented breakthrough technology. No other water energy extraction device has managed to produce an equivalent of high energy while operating in very low water flow speeds, as slow as 2 mph. Waterotor captures consistent and economical electricity, from it’s sealed attached generators, when submerged within ocean currents, rivers and canals.
This unique invention is due to the way Waterotor achieves maximum torque, resulting in a high coefficient of power. The generator converts energy from pure torque moments in contrast to systems with propeller or wing-like blades which require much higher flow velocities to achieve or match the same Coefficient-of-Power in flow speeds below 9 mph.
Water has 830 times more energy than wind thus a small device in water can economically harness a large amount of energy around the clock. Waterotor is an engineering breakthrough, with significant advantages over previous systems. These advantages enable early global market penetration.
The Company
Waterotor Energy Technologies Inc. was founded in 2011 for the expressed purpose of completing Waterotor commercialization through advanced full-scale prototype demonstrations, product and market readiness.
Now, the company has chosen prime manufacturing contractors and stands ready to satisfy global market demands for reliable, economical, renewable electrical energy.

The Saltstraumen has the strongest tidal current in the world. Up to 400,000,000 cubic metres (520,000,000 cu yd) of seawater forces its way through a 3-kilometre (1.9 mi) long and 150-metre (490 ft) wide strait every six hours, with water speeds reaching 22 knots (41 km/h; 25 mph). Vortices known as whirlpools or maelstroms up to 10 metres (33 ft) in diameter and 5 metres (16 ft) in depth are formed when the current is at its strongest. The Saltstraumen has existed for about two to three thousand years. Before that, the area was different due to post-glacial rebound. The current is created when the tide tries to fill the Skjerstadfjorden. The height difference between the sea level and the fjord inside can be up to 1 metre (3 ft 3 in). When the current turns, there is a period when the strait is navigable.

Breathtaking...Nearly 20 years after first finding the sunken remains of the R.M.S. Titanic, marine explorer Robert Ballard returned in June 2004, helped by the NOAAOffice of Ocean Exploration to study the ship's rapid deterioration.
The Titanic team worked aboard NOAA ShipRonald H. Brown from May 30 through June 9, spending 11 days at the wreck site, mapping the ship and conducting scientific analysis of its deterioration.
The team used Institute for Exploration (IFE) remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) Hercules and Argus to conduct a sophisticated documentation of the state of Titanic was not possible in the 1980s.
This "look, don't touch" mission used high-definition video and stereoscopic still images to provide an updated assessment of the wreck site at a depth of 3,840 meters (12,600 feet).
As the nation's ocean agency, NOAA has a vested interest in the scientific and cultural aspects of the Titanic and in its appropriate treatment and preservation. NOAA's focus is to build a baseline of scientific information from which we can measure the shipwreck's processes and deterioration, and then apply the knowledge we gain to other deepwater shipwrecks and submerged cultural resources.

In this episode of Upgrade, Motherboard goes to Baja California, Mexico to get a firsthand look at these free floating pods, and to get an understanding for why we need better ways to cultivate our future food sources.
Whether it’s found on a plate of sushi, grilled in our backyard, or thrown on pasta, seafood is a staple for many diets around the world, and demand is growing. And as the commercial seafood industry booms, fish stocks worldwide face perilous declines.
We’ve surpassed our capacity to sustainably fish wild caught fish, shrimp, and mollusks from the ocean, and so we’ve turned to aquaculture, or fish farming, as a strategy to meet demand for our growing appetites for water-borne critters. The aquaculture industry is growing fast. According to the FAO, per capita production of seafood from aquaculture has increased 6.9 percent annually since 1970.
Unfortunately for us and for our Earth, current methods of fish farming often involve crowded, tethered pens, which can have poor water circulation and contribute to the spread of disease, and put large amounts of environmental stress on the surrounding waterways.
This is where Steve Page of OceanFarm Technologies comes in. Taking inspiration from naturally-occurring schools of fish and Buckminster Fuller’s geodesic domes, Page co-designed the Aquapod, a free floating, untethered deep ocean fish habitat which reduces overcrowding, and creates less stress on surrounding environments due to its unique ability to change location with the ocean's current.

When I was walking on the pier watching the waves someone told me that there was a man drowning nearby. I quickly spotted him, called 911 and shortly after I saw two of the lifeguards swimming towards him, a car with another one pulling over at the pier and a rescue jet boat coming from the sea after a few minutes. I started to record a video. The surf was high that afternoon, the waves were I would say around 10 feet high. The man was being carried by a rip current away from the shore, he was struggling trying to swim back and quickly became unconscious. Everyone was getting hard time finding the body. The lifeguards risked their lives, tried to resuscitate poor man, but it must have been too late. He was later declared dead at a local hospital. RIP, Cesar. This video reminds all of us that we should be very careful, because the ocean can take away your life before you even realize it.

Inland and coastal waters are particularly hazardous to groundings and sinkings due to wind, waves, rocky shoals, submerged obstructions, strong currents, tidal swings of water depth, restricted visibility from fog, rain and darkness, other vessel traffic, shore lights and more. The USCoast Guard and local agencies deploy a comprehensive array of navigational aids including buoys, beacons, lights, dayboards, racons, bells, whistles, gongs, horns and more to assist mariners in safe conduct through these areas in all kinds of weather and traffic conditions.
This seminar describes the navigational aids and their meanings, sources for authoritative description of specific Nav Aids in specific locations, and how mariners can acquire the latest change information in their area of interest for use in pre-planning a cruise.

The Saltstraumen has the strongest tidal current in the world. Up to 400,000,000 cubic metres (520,000,000 cu yd) of seawater forces its way through a 3-kilometre (1.9 mi) long and 150-metre (490 ft) wide strait every six hours, with water speeds reaching 22 knots (41 km/h; 25 mph). Vortices known as whirlpools or maelstroms up to 10 metres (33 ft) in diameter and 5 metres (16 ft) in depth are formed when the current is at its strongest. The Saltstraumen has existed for about two to three thousand years. Before that, the area was different due to post-glacial rebound. The current is created when the tide tries to fill the Skjerstadfjorden. The height difference between the sea level and the fjord inside can be up to 1 metre (3 ft 3 in). When the current turns, there is a period when the strait is navigable.

This "look, don't touch" mission used high-definition video and stereoscopic still images to provide an updated assessment of the wreck site at a depth of 3,840 meters (12,600 feet).
As the nation's ocean agency, NOAA has a vested interest in the scientific and cultural aspects of the Titanic and in its appropriate treatment and preservation. NOAA's focus is to build a baseline of scientific information from which we can measure the shipwreck's processes and deterioration, and then apply the knowledge we gain to other deepwater shipwrecks and submerged cultural resources.

In this episode of Upgrade, Motherboard goes to Baja California, Mexico to get a firsthand look at these free floating pods, and to get an understanding for why we need better ways to cultivate our future food sources.
Whether it’s found on a plate of sushi, grilled in our backyard, or thrown on pasta, seafood is a staple for many diets around the world, and demand is growing. And as the commercial seafood industry booms, fish stocks worldwide face perilous declines.
We’ve surpassed our capacity to sustainably fish wild caught fish, shrimp, and mollusks from the ocean, and so we’ve turned to aquaculture, or fish farming, as a strategy to meet demand for our growing appetites for water-borne critters. The aquaculture industry is growing fast. According to the FAO, per capita production of seafood from aquaculture has increased 6.9 percent annually since 1970.
Unfortunately for us and for our Earth, current methods of fish farming often involve crowded, tethered pens, which can have poor water circulation and contribute to the spread of disease, and put large amounts of environmental stress on the surrounding waterways.
This is where Steve Page of OceanFarm Technologies comes in. Taking inspiration from naturally-occurring schools of fish and Buckminster Fuller’s geodesic domes, Page co-designed the Aquapod, a free floating, untethered deep ocean fish habitat which reduces overcrowding, and creates less stress on surrounding environments due to its unique ability to change location with the ocean's current.

When I was walking on the pier watching the waves someone told me that there was a man drowning nearby. I quickly spotted him, called 911 and shortly after I saw two of the lifeguards swimming towards him, a car with another one pulling over at the pier and a rescue jet boat coming from the sea after a few minutes. I started to record a video. The surf was high that afternoon, the waves were I would say around 10 feet high. The man was being carried by a rip current away from the shore, he was struggling trying to swim back and quickly became unconscious. Everyone was getting hard time finding the body. The lifeguards risked their lives, tried to resuscitate poor man, but it must have been too late. He was later declared dead at a local hospital. RIP, Cesar. This video reminds all of us that we should be very careful, because the ocean can take away your life before you even realize it.

Inland and coastal waters are particularly hazardous to groundings and sinkings due to wind, waves, rocky shoals, submerged obstructions, strong currents, tidal swings of water depth, restricted visibility from fog, rain and darkness, other vessel traffic, shore lights and more. The USCoast Guard and local agencies deploy a comprehensive array of navigational aids including buoys, beacons, lights, dayboards, racons, bells, whistles, gongs, horns and more to assist mariners in safe conduct through these areas in all kinds of weather and traffic conditions.
This seminar describes the navigational aids and their meanings, sources for authoritative description of specific Nav Aids in specific locations, and how mariners can acquire the latest change information in their area of interest for use in pre-planning a cruise.

Deepest Hole in The Ocean! (Whirlpool) Saltstraumen

The Saltstraumen has the strongest tidal current in the world. Up to 400,000,000 cubic metres (520,000,000 cu yd) of seawater forces its way through a 3-kilometre (1.9 mi) long and 150-metre (490 ft) wide strait every six hours, with water speeds reaching 22 knots (41 km/h; 25 mph). Vortices known as whirlpools or maelstroms up to 10 metres (33 ft) in diameter and 5 metres (16 ft) in depth are formed when the current is at its strongest. The Saltstraumen has existed for about two to three thousand years. Before that, the area was different due to post-glacial rebound. The current is created when the tide tries to fill the Skjerstadfjorden. The height difference between the sea level and the fjord inside can be up to 1 metre (3 ft 3 in). When the current turns, there is a period when the st...

BeholdThe Future...High output of energy from slow moving water. THE GLOBAL PROBLEM Accessible and affordable electricity is a major global issue.
1.3 billion people are without electricity, and over 800 million people depend on high cost, polluting fossil fuel generators for their power. However, over 71% of the planet is covered with slowly moving water in rivers, canals, and ocean currents.
A huge, untouched global market exists to provide electricity where it is unavailable, and also to replace the millions of fuel-burning generators currently supplying power at very high cost.
THE SOLUTION WATEROTOR
Waterotor can address this global market creating a revolutionary new era of low cost electrical energy nearly everywhere. Developed over the past 5 years, it is now proven and ready for assigned manufacturers.
Waterotor fills the market void that exists for an energy to electricity system, when fully submerged in water even moving as slow as 2 mph. It is a unique drum like ‘rolling torque induction system’ that can operate nearly everywhere to satisfy electrification on a global scale. Waterotor is an advanced precisely defined, patented, proven and scalar technology.
INNOVATIVE BREAKTHROUGH
Waterotor is a patented breakthrough technology. No other water energy extraction device has managed to produce an equivalent of high energy while operating in very low water flow speeds, as slow as 2 mph. Waterotor captures consistent and economical electricity, from it’s sealed attached generators, when submerged within ocean currents, rivers and canals.
This unique invention is due to the way Waterotor achieves maximum torque, resulting in a high coefficient of power. The generator converts energy from pure torque moments in contrast to systems with propeller or wing-like blades which require much higher flow velocities to achieve or match the same Coefficient-of-Power in flow speeds below 9 mph.
Water has 830 times more energy than wind thus a small device in water can economically harness a large amount of energy around the clock. Waterotor is an engineering breakthrough, with significant advantages over previous systems. These advantages enable early global market penetration.
The Company
Waterotor Energy Technologies Inc. was founded in 2011 for the expressed purpose of completing Waterotor commercialization through advanced full-scale prototype demonstrations, product and market readiness.
Now, the company has chosen prime manufacturing contractors and stands ready to satisfy global market demands for reliable, economical, renewable electrical energy.

When I was walking on the pier watching the waves someone told me that there was a man drowning nearby. I quickly spotted him, called 911 and shortly after I saw two of the lifeguards swimming towards him, a car with another one pulling over at the pier and a rescue jet boat coming from the sea after a few minutes. I started to record a video. The surf was high that afternoon, the waves were I would say around 10 feet high. The man was being carried by a rip current away from the shore, he was struggling trying to swim back and quickly became unconscious. Everyone was getting hard time finding the body. The lifeguards risked their lives, tried to resuscitate poor man, but it must have been too late. He was later declared dead at a local hospital. RIP, Cesar.

Chapter 9. Fluid Pressure. Dam Overturning. Factors of Safety

19. Ocean Bathymetry and Water Properties

The Atmosphere, the Ocean and Environmental Change (GG 140)
Plate tectonics and ocean bathymetry are discussed. Bathymetry is the study of ocean depth, which is affected in some regions by plate tectonics and mantle dynamics. Mid-ocean ridges are formed at plate boundaries where mantle material is rising to the ocean crust and solidifying as it cools to form new ocean crust material. Seamounts are volcanoes that have formed from molten mantle material pushing up through the ocean crust, but these volcanoes lie below sea level. These features are measured using acoustic depth profiling. Ocean water properties, such as temperature and salinity, as well as the methods used to measure them are also discussed.

Inland and coastal waters are particularly hazardous to groundings and sinkings due to wind, waves, rocky shoals, submerged obstructions, strong currents, tidal swings of water depth, restricted visibility from fog, rain and darkness, other vessel traffic, shore lights and more. The USCoast Guard and local agencies deploy a comprehensive array of navigational aids including buoys, beacons, lights, dayboards, racons, bells, whistles, gongs, horns and more to assist mariners in safe conduct through these areas in all kinds of weather and traffic conditions.
This seminar describes the navigational aids and their meanings, sources for authoritative description of specific Nav Aids in specific locations, and how mariners can acquire the latest change information in their area of interest for use in pre-planning a cruise.

With over 25 years committed to the protection of cultural resources, Mr. Wright has gained a reputation as an accomplished program manager with experience leading key cultural resource investigations for both public and private clients within the renewable energy, oil and gas, and transportation development sectors. His areas of expertise include underwater archaeology, maritime and historic preservation law, historic archaeology, architectural history, historic landscape management, artifact conservation, planning, and public outreach. Wright has always been intrigued by the effects of climate change and has recently begun studying its potential impacts on submerged archaeological sites.
Abstract: We know that climate change contributes to sea level rise, and can alter the intensity and location/distribution of storms. What is much less predictable is when and where storms will be more or less intense. Certainly if there are more coastal storms, combined with sea level rise, the storm surge that accompanies the tempests would be more significant along our shorelines as well as upon inland riverine locations that have not traditionally experienced the effects of storm surge. As sea levels gradually rise, submerged sites, that have remained virtually unchanged in our lifetime, will be increasingly subjected to erosion and the destabilizing forces of hydraulic action, attrition, corrasion, and corrosion. This discussion will address these natural impacts, their effect on site context, and address strategies to preserve site integrity in the wake of these changes.

Waterotor Energy Conversion - Behold The Future

BeholdThe Future...High output of energy from slow moving water. THE GLOBAL PROBLEM Accessible and affordable electricity is a major global issue.
1.3 billion people are without electricity, and over 800 million people depend on high cost, polluting fossil fuel generators for their power. However, over 71% of the planet is covered with slowly moving water in rivers, canals, and ocean currents.
A huge, untouched global market exists to provide electricity where it is unavailable, and also to replace the millions of fuel-burning generators currently supplying power at very high cost.
THE SOLUTION WATEROTOR
Waterotor can address this global market creating a revolutionary new era of low cost electrical energy nearly everywhere. Developed over the past 5 years, it is now proven and ready for assigned manufacturers.
Waterotor fills the market void that exists for an energy to electricity system, when fully submerged in water even moving as slow as 2 mph. It is a unique drum like ‘rolling torque induction system’ that can operate nearly everywhere to satisfy electrification on a global scale. Waterotor is an advanced precisely defined, patented, proven and scalar technology.
INNOVATIVE BREAKTHROUGH
Waterotor is a patented breakthrough technology. No other water energy extraction device has managed to produce an equivalent of high energy while operating in very low water flow speeds, as slow as 2 mph. Waterotor captures consistent and economical electricity, from it’s sealed attached generators, when submerged within ocean currents, rivers and canals.
This unique invention is due to the way Waterotor achieves maximum torque, resulting in a high coefficient of power. The generator converts energy from pure torque moments in contrast to systems with propeller or wing-like blades which require much higher flow velocities to achieve or match the same Coefficient-of-Power in flow speeds below 9 mph.
Water has 830 times more energy than wind thus a small device in water can economically harness a large amount of energy around the clock. Waterotor is an engineering breakthrough, with significant advantages over previous systems. These advantages enable early global market penetration.
The Company
Waterotor Energy Technologies Inc. was founded in 2011 for the expressed purpose of completing Waterotor commercialization through advanced full-scale prototype demonstrations, product and market readiness.
Now, the company has chosen prime manufacturing contractors and stands ready to satisfy global market demands for reliable, economical, renewable electrical energy.

Deepest Hole in The Ocean! (Whirlpool) Saltstraumen

The Saltstraumen has the strongest tidal current in the world. Up to 400,000,000 cubic metres (520,000,000 cu yd) of seawater forces its way through a 3-kilometre (1.9 mi) long and 150-metre (490 ft) wide strait every six hours, with water speeds reaching 22 knots (41 km/h; 25 mph). Vortices known as whirlpools or maelstroms up to 10 metres (33 ft) in diameter and 5 metres (16 ft) in depth are formed when the current is at its strongest. The Saltstraumen has existed for about two to three thousand years. Before that, the area was different due to post-glacial rebound. The current is created when the tide tries to fill the Skjerstadfjorden. The height difference between the sea level and the fjord inside can be up to 1 metre (3 ft 3 in). When the current turns, there is a period when the strait is navigable.

NOAA Titanic Expedition 2004: Breathtaking Wreck Footage

Breathtaking...Nearly 20 years after first finding the sunken remains of the R.M.S. Titanic, marine explorer Robert Ballard returned in June 2004, helped by the NOAAOffice of Ocean Exploration to study the ship's rapid deterioration.
The Titanic team worked aboard NOAA ShipRonald H. Brown from May 30 through June 9, spending 11 days at the wreck site, mapping the ship and conducting scientific analysis of its deterioration.
The team used Institute for Exploration (IFE) remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) Hercules and Argus to conduct a sophisticated documentation of the state of Titanic was not possible in the 1980s.
This "look, don't touch" mission used high-definition video and stereoscopic still images to provide an updated assessment of the wreck site at a depth of 3,840 meters (12,600 feet).
As the nation's ocean agency, NOAA has a vested interest in the scientific and cultural aspects of the Titanic and in its appropriate treatment and preservation. NOAA's focus is to build a baseline of scientific information from which we can measure the shipwreck's processes and deterioration, and then apply the knowledge we gain to other deepwater shipwrecks and submerged cultural resources.

Deep Sea Fish Farming in Geodesic Domes: Upgrade

In this episode of Upgrade, Motherboard goes to Baja California, Mexico to get a firsthand look at these free floating pods, and to get an understanding for why we need better ways to cultivate our future food sources.
Whether it’s found on a plate of sushi, grilled in our backyard, or thrown on pasta, seafood is a staple for many diets around the world, and demand is growing. And as the commercial seafood industry booms, fish stocks worldwide face perilous declines.
We’ve surpassed our capacity to sustainably fish wild caught fish, shrimp, and mollusks from the ocean, and so we’ve turned to aquaculture, or fish farming, as a strategy to meet demand for our growing appetites for water-borne critters. The aquaculture industry is growing fast. According to the FAO, per capita production of seafood from aquaculture has increased 6.9 percent annually since 1970.
Unfortunately for us and for our Earth, current methods of fish farming often involve crowded, tethered pens, which can have poor water circulation and contribute to the spread of disease, and put large amounts of environmental stress on the surrounding waterways.
This is where Steve Page of OceanFarm Technologies comes in. Taking inspiration from naturally-occurring schools of fish and Buckminster Fuller’s geodesic domes, Page co-designed the Aquapod, a free floating, untethered deep ocean fish habitat which reduces overcrowding, and creates less stress on surrounding environments due to its unique ability to change location with the ocean's current.

Raw footage: Drowning incident at the Ocean beach in San Diego on March 12th, 2016

When I was walking on the pier watching the waves someone told me that there was a man drowning nearby. I quickly spotted him, called 911 and shortly after I saw two of the lifeguards swimming towards him, a car with another one pulling over at the pier and a rescue jet boat coming from the sea after a few minutes. I started to record a video. The surf was high that afternoon, the waves were I would say around 10 feet high. The man was being carried by a rip current away from the shore, he was struggling trying to swim back and quickly became unconscious. Everyone was getting hard time finding the body. The lifeguards risked their lives, tried to resuscitate poor man, but it must have been too late. He was later declared dead at a local hospital. RIP, Cesar. This video reminds all of us that we should be very careful, because the ocean can take away your life before you even realize it.

To get in touch with Owen, please visit www.ene.com.
With over 25 years committed to the protection of cultural resources, Mr. Wright has gained a reputation as an accomplished program manager with experience leading key cultural resource investigations for both public and private clients within the renewable energy, oil and gas, and transportation development sectors. His areas of expertise include underwater archaeology, maritime and historic preservation law, historic archaeology, architectural history, historic landscape management, artifact conservation, planning, and public outreach. Wright has always been intrigued by the effects of climate change and has recently begun studying its potential impacts on submerged archaeological sites.
Abstract: We know that climate change contributes to sea level rise, and can alter the intensity and location/distribution of storms. What is much less predictable is when and where storms will be more or less intense. Certainly if there are more coastal storms, combined with sea level rise, the storm surge that accompanies the tempests would be more significant along our shorelines as well as upon inland riverine locations that have not traditionally experienced the effects of storm surge. As sea levels gradually rise, submerged sites, that have remained virtually unchanged in our lifetime, will be increasingly subjected to erosion and the destabilizing forces of hydraulic action, attrition, corrasion, and corrosion. This discussion will address these natural impacts, their effect on site context, and address strategies to preserve site integrity in the wake of these changes.
